HOMES FOR WoRNNeMeN.
A Plan Proposed by New York Bush
ness Man-The Home Hunger.

A Plan Proposed by New York Bush
ness Man-The Home Hunger.
George Peabody gave homes to the work
ingmen of London. Erastus Wyman. New
York business man, proposes in The Epoch
building plan by which he can give homes to
the workingmen of New York. His plan
combines the work of building and the life
insurance companies. To illustrate: Suppose
a man buys a house for 81, 800; he will be
be asked to pay $500 down and given four
years at $500 each to liquidate the balance
If he lives, it is expected that he will pay the
entire amount; if he dies, the agreement Is
that his wife gets the house and lot without
any further payment. So that, whether the
husband lives or dies, the family is sure of a
house and lot The short term insurance for
lily be put on the mans life, and if he dies the
insurance company pays to the building COM
pany the amount of the policy.
Here is a suggestion for some of the Boston
philanthropists who do not object TO doing
good in a way which has in it solid principles
of business success. The plan is one which
would appeal particularly to the wives OF
workingmen, the more thrifty and conserva-
tive representatives of the laboring commu-
nifty. Women whose husbands earn less than
$50 a week, and who are obliged on small in
comes to care for their households, feel the
need of homes of their own with a keenness
which the jewellers in luxurious city flats
never experience and cannot guess. The de-
sire of permanence is almost a passion, and
these women realize their inability to care for
their families in case of death of their hus-
bands much more strongly than is supposed
by those who imagine that the poor live chiefly
in the cares and pleasures of the day. A home
of her own means great deal to the wife Of
mechanic. for example. It is an unattain-
able castle in Spain to most of them. To put
home within reach of more wordngmen
would be practical charity which would be
well worth while, and charity in the revised
version doesn't mean aims giving by any
means, either.-Boston Advertiser.

A Fine Collection Of Native Grxsses-A
Curious Library.
When stranger with credentials drops into
Little Rock and expresses desire to obtain
some information about ArkAnsaw he Is at
once presented TO Professor Thomas, and the
latter says 'scome with me- and introduces
him to his museum. This museum gives the
stranger very fair idea of what Arkansaw
can do in the line of production without try
ing very hard 1t contains, for one thing, q
collection of 155 different kinds of grasses
@Not bad for grass" Professor Thomas viii
say in an unconcerned manner, but watching
the visitor closely TO see that the size and
character Of the collection has had its proper
effect Against the walls hang stalks Of cot
ton, corn and other cereals In shining glass
jars are preserved, in alcohol, specimens OF
fruit such as a northern market seldom sees
in state of nature; plums as big as peaches.
and peaches twice as large as they ought to be
in northern eyes, Strawberries five inches In
circumference oranges as fine as Florida ever
grew, and apples of size and quality such as
New York farmers never dreamed of pro-
ducing. "We grow everything that can be
produced in four degrees of latitude, says the
professor, "for there is just that difference in
the $40 miles of territory between the northern
and southern boundaries of the state"
But what a curious library The covers
of the books are of wood, each different
specimen. The visitor picks upa ook. He
finds that it is solid bit of wood in the
shape Of a handy volume. Jay Gould, while
on visit not long ago, spent more time ex-
aiming the library than he gave to the rest
of the museum. The library was worth the
time, too, for imagine one consisting of TONES

Although Mr.. Cody has not been in Lon
don over a month he is today as well known
to the masses of this great city of 5000, 900
as is the queen. You could not pick up in
the most obscure quarter of London any one
SO ignorant as not to know who and what he
is. His name is on every wall His picture
is In nearly every window. The wonder of
this lies in the fact that the London public is
strangely dull and unimaginative. The peo-
pie of one quarter are often as ignorant of q
neighborhood within stones throw of them
as il it were in Central Africa. You find
constantly the proof of this in inquiring your
way about town. The policemen never know
where particular streets or buildings outside
of their beats are located.
An Englishman who has lived in London
for a quarter of a century tells me that no
one but an American would think of asking
London policeman for anything in the way
of information. London policemen are often
placed on guard in front of English officials
houses where they are absolutely ignorant of
the name of the occupant. 1t is genuine
and not an affected ignorance. have asked
higher police officials about this and they say
that the men very often do not know and do
not care. l saw some twenty policemen
guarding one day the house of the prime
minister. / asked several of the men on
guai if they knew whose house they were
guarding. They all replied in the most cour-
teous negative. Finally, one of them re-
ferred me to an older constable who had been
on the beat in that neighbprhood for some
years, and he was able to give me the infor-
nation. Imagine set Of New York police
men guarding any prominent officials house
in New York without their knowing Just
what they were doing, and particularly if it
were the house of the chief officer Of our gov
ernment-T. c. Crawford in New York

rhe Pixznr ana the Giant.

That the worm wiz turn, under certain
provocation, is an undisputed axiom, but TO
what avail il has ever been difficult to dis
cover. The volks Zeitung is q plucky, out
spoken journal, and in consequence Prince
Bismarck caused the editor to be proceeded
against, but failed In the undertaking. Now
the proprietor has turned plaintiff and has
prosecuted the German chancellor for parlia-
mentary offenses against the paper and its
editor. The public prosecutor, however, has
given 1t as his decision that, az Prince Bis
marck is q general of cavalry. he can only be
made answerable to military court
To this The Volks Zeitung retorts that the
prince has never commanded with the coiors
and that his rank of general is purely honor
ary In support of this view it draws atten-
ton to the fact that only the other day the
chancellor exercised, as he always has done,
his right of voting for parliamentary can
didate, although soldiers on active service en-
Joy no electoral privileges. The Volks lei
tung announces quite seriously that it intends
to carry the case through all the civil courts,
and, if necessary, before a military tribunal,
which will have one effect, that of worrying
the chancellor to desperate resorts, as he has
a terror of anything in the way of cross
examination This contest between the pigmy
and the giant will arouse a great deal OF
interest in the fatherland-

The Panama Tragedy.

De Lesseps will not hasten to inform the
Paris bourgeoisie who have sunk their francs
in the Panama canal that water has flooded
one of the deepest and longest cuts, although
high above the prospective canal work. The
earth and rocks taken out represent cost Of
millions of dollars, but the water has washed
back more than enough to fill all the cuts,
and the work is valueless and the millions
wasted. 1t seems as if the Panama tragedy,
which has cost so many lives and engulfed SO
many fortunes, might as well be ended. The
most trustworthy accounts tell of men dying
like sheep, money squandered upon utterly
Improbable work, very little advance, and
the prospect hopeless. De- Lesseps abundant
faith in himself may float the project little
longer, but it win be at a,cruel cosJ.-Frank

@What can men be thinking of who light
cigars or cigarettes, not only ON the elevated
stations, but sometimes before they get of
the carsa They surely forget that they are
making themselves offensive to any ladies

Such lack of consideration ON the part of pre-

to me, and makes me almost determine to
